The mentor-mentee relationship is a vital connection for professional and personal growth and success. This relationship can be transformative for both the mentee and mentor and result in pivotal career defining moments. Yet there is no standardized curriculum for being a mentor during medical training and many of us find ourselves in this role early on in our careers. Additionally, finding a mentor that would support growth and discovery for your injury prevention interests may require making connections outside of your department or institution to find a good fit.
This workshop will include panelists that are in various stages of being a mentor (seasoned, mid career, early career) along with mentees to provide attendees with the breadth of experiences for mentor mentee relationships. How can we find that transformative mentor mentee relationship? This session will define key components needed for these relationships to thrive and panelists will share their best practices. Attendees will also learn pitfalls that can unravel mentor mentee relationships. We will discuss how to find a mentor that would support your injury prevention interests and share our mentorship discovery paths.
Attendees will then participate in break-out sessions with small groups to discuss best approach to challenging topics including: • What to do when the mentor mentee relationship isn’t working? • How to approach authorship discussions with your mentor or mentorship team? • How to navigate having a mentor from an outside institution?
At the conclusion of workshop groups will share what they have learned from the breakout session. We will conclude the session by discussing how to transition from being a mentee to mentor.
